Quinoline compounds as fungicides or bactericides

The present invention relates to the use of quinoline derivatives as microbicidal agents. Further, the present invention relates to new quinoline derivatives and to processes for their preparation.
It is already known that certain quinoline derivatives have physiological activities, such as microbicidal activity or anti-protozoan activity (see J. Indian Chem. Soc. Vol. LI, 672-673 (1974) and WO 86-06 721). Further, several quinoline derivatives, such as 4-pyrazolylquinolines, have already been described as chemical compounds (see J. Heterocyclic Chem. 26, (1989) 733).
It has now been found that quinoline derivatives of the formula ##STR2## in which X is a nitrogen atom and Y is a CH-group or
Y is a nitrogen atom and X is a CH-group,

R is alkenyl which is optionally substituted by one to three radicals independently selected from the group consisting of halogen, cyano, alkoxy, phenyl and hydroxy, or
R is alkynyl which is optionally substituted by one to three radicals independently selected from the group consisting of halogen, phenyl, trimethylsilyl, hydroxy, cyano, alkoxy, alkylamino, dialkylamino, alkylcarbonyl, tolyl, alkoxycarbonyl and alkylcarbonyloxy, or

One day after the application, a spore suspension of the pathogen (Sphaerotheca fuliginea) was sprayed and inoculated on the cucumber plants. The pots were allowed to stand in a room at a constant temperature of 23.degree. C. 10 days after the application, disease incidence rates were determined based on the rates of the lesion area, and control effects were calculated.

Barley--Powdery Mildew/Control Test Formulation of Active Compounds (Wettable Powder)
______________________________________Active compound 30-40 parts by weightCarrier: mixture of (1:5) of diatomaceous 55-65 parts by weightearth and kaolinEmulsifier: polyoxyethylene alkyl 5 parts by weightphenyl ether______________________________________
The above amounts each of the active compound, the carrier and the emulsifier are ground and mixed to give a wettable powder.
Predetermined amounts thereof are diluted with water and used for the test.
Test method
About 10 grains each of barley (Haruna-ni-jo variety) were sown in vinyl pots each having a diameter of 7 cm, and the seedlings were grown in a greenhouse (15.degree.-25.degree. C.). Each wettable powder prepared in the same manner as above was diluted to predetermined concentrations, and 25 ml portions per 3 pots of each dilution were applied to the small seedlings which reached the two-leaf stage. Conidia formed on the pathogenic lesion of barley--powdery mildew previously caused by infection lesion were inoculated by scattering them on the leaves of the barley plants one day after the application (protective effect) or two days before the application (curative effect). The pots were kept in a greenhouse at 15.degree. to 20.degree. C. Seven days after sowing, the disease incidence rate in each pot was classificatorily evaluated according to the following criterion, and the preventive value was calculated. Each result is the avemge of the three pots.
